The abyss that exists between factions of LLM users and abolitionists stems from differing perspectives on the harms produced by the industry.

I refuse to imagine that the majority of LLM users are so enamored with this technology that they purposefully ignore the possibility that their prompts are accelerating the destruction of humanity as we know it.

The offset of harms and benefits must somehow be worth it.

Either the benefits afforded are substantially better than an alternate timeline without these tools, or the harms are overstated and merely collateral damage of inevitable progress.
